Inside Pulse Wrestling | The Interinactivity Returns Tour

The Interinactivity Returns Tour – Begins Monday!

by Blair A. Douglas on September 29, 2011

Boys and gentlemen, my name is Blair A. Douglas and asÂ announcedÂ in the fun little interview that I did with CB, this Monday night, I make my return to Inside Pulse’s Wrestling Division with more episodes of “Interinactivity”.

For anyone who might be new around here, I started with Pulse at the beginning of the year as the recapper of all TNA TV and PPV events. It was fun for a while, watching them make incredibly dumb and senseless moves every week, until I suffered a complete rage blackout. My doctors demanded I do something less dangerous as a hobby, like sticking my wet fingers in electrical sockets. So now, I do that, as well as Q & A with the readers of Inside Pulse. It’s been a lot of fun.

I took a couple months off, and was going to start right back in with Interinactivity. However, someone suggested that I “re-familiarize” myself with the “products”. I don’t know why I need to watch this stuff to judge it, but there seems to be some really odd point of view populating wrestling sites these days that I actually need to WATCH a Mark Henry title run to know that it’s horrible. I don’t really know what that’s about, but, given that Pulse let me take time off, lets me work without a net, and lets me swear so often that the words have lost all meaning (I’m going to try to cut back on that), I decided, why not.

So the Interinactivity Returns Tour takes place over the next 3 weeks, with 3 episodes of “That Being Said” recaps, which will cover all the major wrestling TV shows on the air currently. So, October should be a fun month.

Monday October 3rd:Â ”That Being Said” recap of WWE RAW (Supershow? Regularshow? Bigshow? Whatever.)
Thursday October 14th:Â ”That Being Said” recap of TNA Impact Wrestling
Friday October 22nd:Â ”That Being Said” recap of WWE SmackDown (AKA The Mark Henry Power Hour)
Friday October 29th:Â ”Interinactivity” column, which will handle comments from all 3 of the recaps above.
(After that, Friday morning will be the new home of “Interinactivity”.)

I would have covered the new ROH show, but I wanted to leave that to my man Jack Newbury. He’s Pulse’s new Ring Of Honor recapper, and will be covering the show each week. You may remember him as WaterDrip from the “BEST F#$%ING TNA TEAM EVER!” Dude is a full-fledged Pulse writer now. Make sure to check that out when it finally gets posted, who’s supposed to be taking care of approving that article anyway? GET IT DONE!

One more thing before I head out – there seems to have been a notion before I took off a couple months ago that I was way too hard on the products. I’m not going to go on a diatribe here, but let me be very clear – I’m not letting what is popular with other people shape my opinions or my articles, nor am I going to “take it easy” on either show.Â We’re wrestling fans. Obviously we are, or we wouldn’t be here. And wrestling isn’t rocket science. It’s not even science. At all.

Being wrestling fans doesn’t mean we have to pretend something is awesome just because a few people in one town cheered for it. Being wrestling fans doesn’t mean we have to pretend that WWE pipes chants through arena speakers. Being wrestling fans doesn’t mean we have to pretend something is good because it’s a LITTLE bit better than the terrible stuff that’s shown normally.Â Being wrestling fans doesn’t mean we have to try to put a good face on something like Mark Henry .vs. Shaemus because WWE wants us to think it’s awesome. Being wrestling fans doesn’t mean we have to swallow what either company gives us because the other one is terrible.

All I’m saying is this – let’s try to keep things in perspective here. We take a lot of guff for being wrestling fans, and we deserve good products. You know it and I know it.

I said it, I meant it, I’m here to represent it.Â Have a good weekend. See y’all on Monday.

I can’t wait for some interactivity, my dude. FIST PUMP!

Oh, I think I’m going to start writing too if Newbury is writing. Whoever is supposed to give me a log-in…uh, get me a log-in.
ASGurl

F*CKYEAH!!!! BLAIR IS BACK!!! GIVE SWAYZE A LOGIN!!!!!!
Steven Gepp

Ohh, goody! Somewhere else for the trolls to go when they’re too bisy filling Scott Keith’s comment section!

I have a suggestion – Glazer started to do this, but I think it might work better within the Interactivity format: Take a few comments or ideas from other columns and give your take there as well as dealing with the questions from the comments sections and fan-bases.
Crystal

YEAH!!! A month of Henry vs. sheamus!! That’s what this is really about right?? Rockin! Somebody get my dude Swayze some Green Lantern money!!

I’m with Gepp. It’d be great. I just don’t have time for it, sadly.
David

You’ll always get props from me for making Californication references, sir.
ASGurl

Californication never made that reference originally, that’s an old-school rock reference. It is still money, though, Duchovny just made it cool again.

Oh good we will then get the analysis of the Mark Henry vs Daniel Bryan match-up for Wrestlemania. The argument that Henry can’t draw… Well, at this point in time, that goes for them both. Maybe this match-up would actually elevate the public perception of BOTH of them…
KON

@sideshowbob You can’t expect Bryan to draw when he’s given dark matches & booked to job all the time though.
Steven Gepp

@sideshowbob: I was abused in the last Roundtable for suggesting that would be a match, and accused of not being a wrestling fan because of suggesting Henry v Bryan. I think it’ll work.
KON

@Steven Gepp: It’s that kind of ridiculous in-fighting that gives the “IWC”, “10%” or whatever we are a bad name.

If Bryan brings the wrestling talent & Henry brings whatever it is he does, i’m sure it’ll be as good as Hogan vs Sheik :)

“Ohh, goody! Somewhere else for the trolls to go when they’re too bisy filling Scott Keith’s comment section!”

Let’s be fair here. It’s only one troll under a bunch of different name.
Mike Gojira

That’s only if you get it wet and feed it after midnight.

Wait….that’s a Mogwai.
CB

Welcome back, Blair. I actually will be away next week, but I’m looking forward to reading and commenting from afar.

Also, with the plethora (yes, I said a PLETHORA) of TBS and Inter columns, I can finally stop my breakneck pace of those Taking YOUR Wrestling Pulse columns. I will say, though, Hargrove will be my next interview!
sideshowbob

I hear ya Gepp and I think you’re on to sonethingsomething. Either that or the idea taker beats Henry and dbryan tries still at wrestlemania..
